I'm new here and setting up my Tacoma for towing. I have the Prodigy controller and the 7pin/4pin connector from etrailer.
The wiring for the 7 pin is supposed to be everything I need but there are no instructions. In the wiring instructions for the Prodigy controller it only show one wire from the controller to the 7 pin. The wiring kit I received has two wires that are two be run from the hitch (connector) to the engine bay. I spoke w/ etrailer and was more confused. Can someone help clarify this?
From my best take it looks like I only need one wire from the controller to the 7 pin (wire labeled 'brake' in the wiring harness) and the other would not be used even though it's run under the vehicle. Beyond that I'd need Ground from batt. to controller, +12 from batt. to controller, and switched 12 from brake pedal (stop) switch. Can anyone verify this?
Thanks for the help,
Brian
